Way Too Long

To say it's been awhile is an understatement. As I compose this post I am sitting on a bus on my way to visit veterans at a nearby VA hospital. I am using my cool new iphone to do it. This just to tell you that things have been crazy busy. I want to blog more, but often when I get home, I just want to hang out with the family. Hopefully this new little device will help me write some short updates of our lives.

First of all, ministry is going really well! There are many unique challenges, but I am loving the opportunities God is giving me to minister to soldiers. As a family we have pretty well settled into a routine. The boys have made friends quickly and Katie has transitioned really well into her new roles as a stay at home mom and an Army wife. I am really blessed to have such a wonderful family.

We have gotten involved in a chapel service on post and Katie has jumped right in to ministry by helping lead worship at a weekly ladies Bible study. All this to say, thank you for your prayers. We are so blessed to have many people praying for us. With that said, please continue to pray.

Hopefully it won't take as long to update you next time. Thanks again foe all your support and encouragement. We really appreciate it!
